If you think being called right-wing is dehumanizing, then you should stay out of the Duke4 discord. It sounds like a real knife fight in there.

lol at doubling down on lumping people into a group and dehumanizing them while still blaming the victim

Being called a right-winger isn’t dehumanising but it is concerning when it comes from someone who wants to purge right-wingers.

Edit: be more like Daryl Davis and less like Shaun King

right wing is nebulous and meaningless, it's the context and intent in which it's used that gives it a definition.

They could have used 'powdered donut' instead for all it mattered.

No. He. Is. Not. He is a pastiche of them.

Half the team who made Duke 3D so good stopped working for Apogee after the release of the original 3-episode version.
The people left over didn't know what to do, and so they leaned into the wrong things trying to recapture what was gone. This started with the Atomic Edition and got worse during all the years of DNF's development.
Randy only joined at this point, and so I don't blame him for it.

I neither said or implied anything of the sort. Like your insistence that I called you "alt-right", you keep having to fabricate events to make your point. I don't know if you're projecting, or just repeating some rehearsed arguments you found on YouTube, but either way it's not a good look.

Says the one going on about subvert racism and the alt-right pipeline. I guess plausible deniability for thee but not for me.

Duke4 has had a lot of high tension amongst us lately.


To be clear here, I'm not saying this in an accusatory or condemning way to anyone or a particular group. To be honest I'm not even sure why it's felt this way; just something I've noticed.

And yes, I say this in full light of my own explosion at I-am-having-a-brain-fart-and-literally-can't-actually-remember-his-username not too long ago. So I'm not exactly "above" it, myself.

What's funny is that the peanut gallery is accused of being a "right wing group think" when the truth is that most of us don't even agree with each other on anything except disliking the Left as a political entity. I'm pretty sure somebody has argued in favor of monarchy, and I know there are some strong government law and order guys, and speaking for myself I don't even think the government should exist (horseshoe theory I'm either extremely far left or far right depending on who you ask.) I come from the Left, abandoning the group when I realized they are letting insane people run the show. I only supported Trump because he's bad for the establishment.

No, what's funny is that you are so politically uneducated that you don't understand how every position you just listed are all variations of conservative thought or governance. But you're right about one thing, the main thing they have in common is "anti-left".

I really don't understand why you're all getting so offended at being called right-wing, when you then turn around and describe your values and belief system as a literal form of right-wing ideology.

"I'm not right-wing, I'm an anarcho-capitalist" isn't the epic pwn you think it is.

I'm more concerned with the idea that a monarchist and an anarchist could be considered part of a group think. That is incoherent conceptually.

No one ever accused conservatives of being coherent thinkers, especially when their motivations are "anti-left" or "owning the libs" or "SJWs ruined my bibeo games"

Do you think the bourgeois shopkeeper fared any better than the Tsarists after the Bolsheviks took over?

the right and left both have the same overall goal though which is to silence their opposition and distort the constitution to how they see it in their warped one sided political brain. It’s the same on both sides of the aisle. There’s no “common ground” to be reached when both sides view each other as an enemy and not fellow citizens, and this is what both sides want because fear brings in votes.

Russian history isn't really my strong suit, so let's jump ahead to whatever point you're trying to make here.

It's always been very weird to me that virtually everyone who argues some version of "both sides are the same", follows it up with an implicit "so we should just vote Republican anyway". Not everyone, but most of them.

Or to put it in meme terms:

Nah, I prefer to not take sides as far as political parties go. They're both easy to manipulate enough for me to get what I want.

I didn't mean you specifically, just in general. This entire discussion I've repeatedly said I oppose right-wing rhetoric, and in response been called "a leftist" 5 or 6 times. It's like people can't conceptualize that someone would disagree with conservative thought, and dislike conservative rhetoric, without also being an equal opposite extreme.

sure.
but you also refuse to allow that other people here think the same way. They can disagree with radical liberal thought, but not be right wing.
Or you don't care because you just want to censor everything that doesn't appeal to you.
you've implied i'm a boomer, a republican, and a in a generalized way lumped me in with right wingers.
I'm not offended by any of your attempted insults, because none of it strikes home or has any specific meaning to me.

I don't even disagree entirely with some of the stuff you post, other than history revisionism, just your method of delivery and a lot of the disingenuous misrepresentation you like to push onto people so you can compartmentalize and label them into a collective.
But do carry on, I find the mental gymnastics fun to watch. It should be a special olympics event.

my favorite part is that I legitimately can't tell if that's a joke or not

I'd believe either this thread has been wild
